Manage your team’s skills with data, not memory

MuchSkills gives team managers a live view of every skill, certification and development goal on the team. Your people keep their own profiles current.

So when someone asks “can we take this on?”, you answer in minutes, not after a week of Slack threads.

Your team’s skills live in your head

And in a spreadsheet someone built two years ago. It works until a new project lands, a key person hands in their notice, or a client wants a certified engineer by Friday.

A guess in Slack

“Has anyone done this before?” turns into a Slack thread and a guess.

A lapsed certificate

A certification lapses and you hear about it from the client.

1:1s about tasks

1:1s drift into status updates, and nobody talks about growth.

A leaver you didn’t see coming

Your strongest person leaves for development they couldn’t see here.

See your whole team on one skills matrix

Every person’s skills, levels, certifications and what they want to work on, in one live view. Filter by any skill and the gaps show up before the project does.

90% clearer visibility into team skills and project readiness.

  • FiltersSkill, level, certification and interest, combined in one search.
  • Skills library12,000+ tech skills and 20,000 industry-specific skills, so everyone uses the same names.
  • Key-person riskSee which skills sit with only one person, so you can spread the knowledge before someone leaves.

Find the right person in seconds

Ask in plain language, like “Kubernetes and Terraform, wants platform work”, and get a shortlist from your team.

Staff on fit and motivation

Put people on work they’re good at and want to do, not just on whoever happens to be free.

Turn 1:1s into growth conversations

Set development goals together and link them to the skills behind them. Each check-in starts from the same live profile, so you talk about strengths and next steps rather than task lists.

Our managers are having better 1:1s than ever.
Marcus Thomas
  • Goals that stay visibleBoth of you can see progress between meetings, so nothing gets forgotten until review season.
  • A path people can seeWhen people can see where they’re heading here, they’re less likely to go looking for it somewhere else.

Stop chasing certifications

Keep every certificate in one place, linked to the person who holds it. See what expires soon and plan renewals before they turn into a problem for a client or an audit.

Every question, in the FAQ
What is a team skills matrix?

A team skills matrix is a grid showing who on your team has which skills, and at what level. Built in a spreadsheet, it goes stale within months. In MuchSkills, the matrix comes from profiles your people update themselves, alongside their certifications and what they want to work on. You can filter by skill, level or certification to spot gaps and find the right person quickly.

How do I keep my team’s skills data up to date?

Make the profile useful to the person who fills it in. In MuchSkills, each employee owns their profile as a record of their own growth, linked to the goals you set together. People update it because it helps them, not because HR sent a reminder. Standard HRIS integrations keep names, roles and teams in sync, so you only manage skills, not admin.

How do I track my team’s certifications and expiry dates?

Keep them in one place, linked to each person. MuchSkills covers 9,700+ certifications, stores expiry dates and keeps an audit trail for every record. Filter your team by certification to see who holds what and what is due to expire, so renewals get planned instead of discovered in a client meeting or an audit.

Will my team see a skills tool as surveillance?

Not when they own the data. In MuchSkills, employees own and control their profiles: they add their skills, rate their level and say what they want to work on. MuchSkills is GDPR compliant, hosts customer personal data in the EU, and does not use that data to train any third-party AI model.

Does MuchSkills work with our HR system?

Yes. MuchSkills sits on top of your HRIS and integrates with Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Personio, HiBob, BambooHR, Dayforce and others, plus project tools such as Jira, Tempo and Harvest. Every plan includes standard HRIS integrations and SSO. Skills data can also go to Power BI or other tools through the open API.

How much does MuchSkills cost?

Plans scale from Starter to Enterprise. Every plan includes standard HRIS integrations, SSO, SCIM and the open API, and Enterprise adds custom integrations and a dedicated customer success manager. The pricing page compares the plans; prices are on request.
